A Few words on Soy Protein
Soy Protein is Plant Protein. Soy beans have one of the best protein digestibilities among all protein sources. Soy beans also contain little or no fat. Being a plant protein, soy is free from steroids and antibiotics animal protein contains.
Soy products are also a great source of other nutrients such as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterols.
Saponins help support a healthy immune system. They also combine with cholesterol to avoid increased absorption
of cholesterol in the body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body in the
same way saponins do.
Isoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent
atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. This alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right.
Isoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the front liners in the fight against disease –
they also counter the effects of pollution, and stress.
Vegetarians love soy bean as it provides a comparable – if not better – source of protein than that of animals.
